Unique, exceptional property situated amongst tea plantations. This is the old house of James Taylor, the father of tea-growing in Sri Lanka. The owners have really succeeded in keeping some of the old, colonial charm and blending it with a more modern approach. You almost feel like you are part of a Poirot episode, playing croquet and sipping afternoon tea in the garden. Everything, the rooms, the beautiful garden, the pool, the tennis field, as well as the staff, is great. Also, the food is really good, and you even have the opportunity to participate in a Sri Lankan cooking class! The service is exceptional, and you always feel very welcome. Nothing is a problem. Highly recommended!!!
